The ideas keep coming.

He remembers it like it was yesterday. Jørgen Holm Christensen was one of the driving forces behind the start of offshore wind in Denmark. His supply and transport boats sailed to the offshore parks Middelgrund, Swedish Bergkvara, Nysted and Horns Rev 1 through the shipping company Øresund Bådservice in the start-up phase around the turn of the millennium and for about a decade.

- The biggest challenge was that it had not been tried before. It was often a problem to dock at the wind turbines, explains Jørgen Holm Christensen, who still remembers tips and tricks that work.

Today, there are large supply boats that have gangways that compensate for wave action. But there are also other simpler methods.

- You can have a larger supply vessel dock in front of the turbine, where the waves come from. Then the small vessel with the crew can dock at the wind turbine, sheltered from the waves of the large ship. It is a method that works if you don't have an Ampelmann gangway. Not all vessels have one, says Jørgen Holm Christensen.

But it doesn't stop there, because together with the naval engineer Steen Olsen in Skærbæk, he already developed the idea for a floating jetty in the 1990s. It was supposed to be able to be inflated so that the ship could dock sheltered from wind and waves.

- It was primarily intended for offshore turbines in shallow water, and it definitely works, promises Jørgen Holm Christensen.

Floating hotel ship

While that idea has not been implemented, other of his ideas have been.

- Some of my ideas are a million-dollar business today, says Jørgen Holm Christensen.

A floating hotel ship for offshore wind is one of those ideas.

- I had the idea for a floating hotel ship for wind, but I didn't have 40 million. DKK to make it happen, he explains.

However, a well-functioning and financially strong network can help bring ideas to life.

- I reached out to Anders Østergaard from Monjasa. I told Anders, I have a good idea, but I can't find 40 million DKK for it, says Jørgen Holm Christensen about the good relationship with the current CEO of the bunker company Anders Østergaard and the company's founder Jan Jacobsen.

It didn't take long before a positive response came back.

- The next day Anders called and said: "We have the money". So we ended up owning 33 percent. each of the floating hotel ship "Wind Solution in common," says Jørgen Holm Christensen.

It was a good idea, but the shipowner Jørgen ended up parting with his small share anyway.

- I made a fool of myself, and I only got a small amount from there, he says.

However, the business is still running successfully, and the good network is still completely intact.

- Wind Solution is still running, and my network is ready to help me again when I get ideas, says Jørgen Holm Christensen.

Wanted to accommodate refugees on ships

The latest idea has nothing to do with offshore wind, but it does have something to do with the current situation in Ukraine. Housing for the refugees does not have to be on land.

- I had an idea to get the finest hotel ship with really good facilities for the Municipality of Copenhagen to the Ukrainian refugees, says Jørgen Holm Christensen.

Through his network, he had found the hotel ship in Norway, where he took representatives of the municipality on a tour.

- They were very positively surprised by the level when we were in Norway. But the following week they still said no. I'm just upset that I had to call the partners and tell them about the rejection, says Jørgen Holm Christensen.

However, he still has hope for the idea.

- We are looking at the possibility in Hamburg. If it had been successful with Copenhagen, I would have been back, says Jørgen Holm Christensen.
